This book "The 40-Day Challenge" was developed by LaWanda Nall over years of work on foreign mission fields and in churches across America. As Ms. Nall began working on lessons to help young Christian become rooted in their faith, she never dreamed that her faith would be challenged to the limit. Ms. Nall was accused of a crime that she did not commit and spent time in federal prison, where she took these lessons she had designed and taught inmates about how to have a successful relationship with God.Ms. Nall called this group of lessons she shared with the inmates the "40-day challenge!" There were 40 lessons and each one built on the previous one. She challenged the inmates and correctional officers to give God 40 days to either prove himself or they could walk away. She promised them that if they gave God a chance, they would be shocked at what he would do for them. If God did not show up for them, she would never ask them again to have faith in God.Regardless of whether you are incarcerated or free, you need to read this book!
